- There's a bug in the HFS FST relating to NewLine mode which causes GSCii+
- to not work very well on HFS volumes. I suspect the problem is with GSCii+
- on HFS, not GSHK on HFS.
-
- In any event, it's an FST bug, and Apple knows about the problem. The
- temporary solution is to do what you've been doing, which is to copy the
- BinSCIIed files off of the HFS volume onto a ProDOS volume.
